Signaling the end of Minnesota’s dog days of summer, join City Pages for the first annual dog-friendly event, Hounds and Hops, on September 23rd in the North Loop! To pay proper homage to human’s best friend, bring your pup and grab a local brew to cheer on stupidly-impressive pet tricks, and watch pups strut their stuff during a doggie fashion show. Enjoy an afternoon full of tail wags and wet kisses and experience good treats from dozens of dog friendly vendors, mouth-watering food trucks (for two- and four-legged friends alike!) as well as some surprises! A portion of the proceeds will benefit Secondhand Hounds. More info: houndsandhops.citypages.com
